Farm Camping 101

Last weekend we went a little out of our comfort zone and camped at  FARM Campground.  My first impression was not the best, I will admit. I think I have turned into a "snobby" camper.  Expecting a certain standard the minute I drive on to the grounds. 

 I quickly put into my place, knocked down a notch, off of my high horse. This was probably one of the BEST camping weekends we have ever had as a family.  

Across from our campsite were mini horses, a month old calf and her mom, turkeys and more...the kids were in their glory with all the outdoor fun...gezz no one seemed to miss the Ipads, TVs or computers one bit! 




Isn't it beautiful!

This lamb was born while were we there...5 pm on Saturday night...by 10 am Sunday morning we were holding them, loving them and being a part of their first life experiences. 

 Sammie want to take this little girl home.  



This calf was born the day after Easter. She was SOO cute and still getting used to her legs. Her mama did not venture too far from her. 



The "retro" playground included a grounded tractor and other farm equipment - who knew!



Even rolling down the grassy hills and blowing the dandelion seeds in the air was FUN - hmmm...maybe he will forget about his DS for a minute! 



 Daddy even got into the action on the swings! 



Only an hour after we arrived we were all on the horse drawn hay wagon ride....and guess who got to take the reigns!





Sammy was in her glory (several times this weekend) but right now she was in the drivers seat!







Yup you see it clear...she was a champ at milking a cow too!  The girl is on fire!



yet another animal Sammie found that would fit into her suitcase...


Molly finally warmed up to a friend....she is a little more stand offish with animals. 


This is Easter Lilly - she is a mini horse and was born Easter Morning this year 8)



We are already planning our next trip to Pleasant Acres Farm Campground. 

Enjoy your Memorial Weekend and Camp On!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
